A-yeap... I think it was posted to bugtracker too, but I'm not 100% sure about it.

IIRC Kornel added (wanted to add?) the tactics switching delay as a quick fix for the old tactics system. Dunno if it's supposed to affect the new system as well.

Changing tactics do take time. And that delay is intended by Kornel.

Kind of defeats the spirit of the thing if, when you want to 'use up' your energy to run, because you're in a tricky spot, you lose as much as you gain because the monster gets a free shot at you. I haven't noticed a big amount of time needed to change tactics, but I too had imagined it was some kind of bug or mistake.
